I dislike Pearl. I think it is one of those names, like Mabel, that are kind of retro-hip because they are so out of fashion, but are actually really ugly and not very good names at all. The Madisons of their day. I do not like precious stones as names because they seem to be tying femininity to superficiality and beauty, although I admit pearls are a bit deeper than a lot of other precious stones. (It's not a stone, I know - idk what to call it though.)

Other than that I really, really dislike the sound of it. Purl. Bleah.

It would be neat to meet one though. And that is all I can say positive about it. I can see it getting popular in a few years.
